What is UL 489?
UL 489 is the UL Standard for Safety for
Molded-case Circuit Breakers, Molded-case
Switches and Circuit Breaker Enclosures. The
requirements are specifically intended to
provide Service Entrance, Feeder and Branch
Circuit Protection in accordance with the
National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.
The 5SJ4 series of Miniature Circuit Breakers
meet the requirements for Branch Circuit or
Feeder Protection and are intended to protect
electrical wires from catching fire in an
application.

Advantages

Siemens Miniature Circuit Breakers do not have to be

derated
Siemens Auxiliary Switch and Fault Signal Contacts are
UL Listed and Certified to Canadian Standards to 480
VAC maximum.
Many Competitive Auxiliary Switches and Fault Signal
Contacts when used with a MCB require the MCB to be
derated to 300 VAC Maximum.
This means that many competitive MCBs DO NOT have
Auxiliary Devices available at 480 VAC.

Siemens 1NO + 1NC contacts are separate and can be

used at the same time
Many Competitive Auxiliary Switches have a Form C
contact.
A Form C contact can be used as a NO or a NC, but not
both at the same time.
